The Old Iranian word pairidaeza refers to a walled orchard, garden or enclosed hunting park ~ a calm, sheltered retreat from the outside world. Elaborate water channels, pools and fountains cool the air. Fragrant flowers offer vibrant colour. Elegant trees offer shade and fruit.
If Paradise derives from such an elemental, idyllic place, then that is what we strive to create, consulting the Genius loci to inspire a garden congruent with the environment.
Landscape and garden design services address the needs of the individual and the environment to this end. My own design aesthetic is based on a perception and practice that has evolved over three decades exploring a range from formal English landscapes, Moorish and Mediterranean gardens, Japanese design, and from desert gardens to tropical planting arrangements.
Over time, the “Paradise” aesthetic has been married to the practical notions of productive landscapes and gardens customised to suit the nature and spirit of modern lifestyle, people and place – form, function, beauty and fruit!
